Magic Jar + Clone


Rules Questions


Can you cast Magic Jar on a clone?.

If so could you make a clone, use a spirit jar on said clone, then cast temporal stasis on your original body to keep it young and just live in your clone until it dies, then return to your younger body?

Sure you'd have to make some kind of item that cast dispel magic on the clone (like 1/year) to dispel the temporal stasis in case you died.

No. Magic Jar targets creatures, not corpses (which are considered objects).


As I recall, spirit jars were slightly different, though? It might still be the same answer. I'd have to look them up to be sure.

Spirit jars let you have three bodies on reserve, and don't let them escape possession just because the spell duration ended. To my knowledge, they have no effect on the spell's legal targets.


Cool. As I said, I'd have to look them up. I wasn't suggesting that would, just that I knew there were differences (and a couple that were more significant and subtle than I expected, as I recall) that may allow something like that, depending on what, exactly, those were. You're probably quite correct, though. :)
